After rumors hit the Internet about Britney Spears' forthcoming summer tour, on Tuesday morning (March 29), the singer confirmed the news. In between songs at her pretaped San Francisco show on "Good Morning America," the singer made the huge announcement.
The tour is scheduled to kick off on June 17 in Sacramento and will run for 26 dates through North America, winding up on August 13 in Toronto. More details will be announced soon.
Hanging out backstage with her dancers, wearing a billowing white shirt and jeans, she told the show's host, Robin Roberts, "I'm going on tour with Enrique Iglesias in June."
Fans gathered at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium to watch Spears shimmy her way through Femme Fatale tracks "Hold It Against Me," "Big Fat Bass" and her latest single, "Till the World Ends," in varying body-hugging sexy costumes.
"Thank you so much for all your love and support. You guys are beautiful," she told the audience. "I love it. I love music. It's my world. It's my everything."
Before Britney even hit the stage in San Francisco, the room was kept entertained by five local drag queens, who told MTV News after Spears left the building that the performer really proved that she is still the pop star everyone knows and loves.
"As a huge Britney fan, it was amazing," Pollo Del Mar told us. "I was excited just to have Britney Spears here in San Francisco, but to participate and be a part of it was amazing.
"It shows why she's a superstar and certainly, I think that the crowd response showed that she's beloved. ... The reason I love Britney Spears is, throughout her career, she's shown she's human, she's fallible ... I think that makes her someone people can rally behind and love."
